Cute & good location

Great little place for a night. The fridge was helpful to store some food for breakfast. Good location. The restaurant, Tanginn, was great too!

We really enjoyed the Lava Guesthouse! Excellent accommodations and it is in a great location.
Fred Baker, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute guest house, affordable and simple.

While the area doesn't have a lot of accommodations to choose from, staying at Lava Guesthouse was a great fit for us. The location is great for the downtown walking area, and is walkable from the ferry. If you do bring a car over, there was plenty of available street parking in front of or around the block. The room was as photographed. The shared bathrooms are small, two exist with showers and another is just a toilet. As long as you aren't trying to get ready at the same time as other guests, it's not a problem. We visited in July and it doesn't really get dark. It would have been nice to have better light-blocking curtains or sleep masks provided to keep the light out, but it was an issue easily solved for my partner by having him sleep with a towel over his eyes. Note most rooms are upstairs. We didn't use the kitchen but it did appear well stocked if you were staying multiple days and wanting to keep food costs down. The house asks that you remove your shoes just inside the main door, so that could be an issue for some people but it meant you didn't have as much noise from other guests walking around the hallways.

What a guesthouse stay should be.

For a guesthouse/shared kitchen this was perfect stay. Everything was simple with check in, owners were present and friendly, kitchen was well stocked with plates utensils. Bathrooms were clean and were 2 per floor.

Cozy guesthouse

One of the very few accommodation options on the island. The rooms and bathrooms are recently renovated and comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped.

Really comfy beds and heated floors in the bathroom! What more could you ask for? Shared kitchen was well stocked and really friendly owner!
Yu Min, 1-night trip

The room was spacious and clean with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. In a great location - walkable to grocery store, plenty of good restaurants, and attractions like the lava fields. Check-in was easy and instructions were clear. Would highly recommend!
Justine, 1-night trip

Our room was right off the kitchen and there were two families with small children - no soundproofing. Otherwise, wonderful stay

This property is as beautifully appointed. It exceeded our expectations. We did struggle briefly to find it. It would benefit from a clearer sign saying Lava Guesthouse or mention in the communications that it is also known as VIK.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

I do not suggest booking here. It is a run down, scary looking place with no services. The building and location are so shady/creepy that my girl friends and I left minutes after we arrived. I would compare this place to a motel or worse, a shack. They don't even have a front desk or someone to talk to, you could only call a random number for questions or comments. The way into the place is through a code which anybody could access. Also, guests staying here share a bathroom. So odd. Side note: We asked for a refund. Lava Guesthouse did not agree, even though we left minutes after our arrival. Avoid at all costs!!
